I must confess I used shielding but way less than previously. I began the tournament 1,5 days before the end, advanced slowly and hit the 8 hour shield during the sleep. I continued next day and took the 3 hour shield twice (the first time turned out to be unnecessary, I got hit only two times for ~30 points each). I broke the last 3 hour shield just before tournament ended and (I feel a bit bad that) I "stole" 1st place in my bracket grinding furiously the last 15mins. I ended up with 1360 points. I had about 100 point lead to the second place int the last minute (he was shielded the whole time so probably he was settled to accept rank 2-5). My IW is now 1/1/1, Patch reached 2/2/1 and my Punisher is maxed out at 3/5/5. I burned approximately same amount of HP as in the first R&R round. Only that during this second round it surprisingly paid off much better.

Pretty happy about it, though I don't quite understand people with 0-30pts, who started to attack me about 5mins before the end of the tourney. guess they wanted some progression rewards... I don't like this new system. we came to back to era of "play during last hours of tournament only". and it's even before they implemented Pay to Skip.

I'll take the second place finish though. It would be nice if instead of D3 making up some **** about competitive rankings and blah blah blah they just admitted the changes are a money grab. EDIT: Tanking team in. I have a 500 point lead on 3rd so might as well see if I can slightly reduce my MMR while still finishing top 5.
